Recipe: Quick Choc & Nut Biscuits

If you ever get a craving for a biscuit or a gooey chocolate chip cookie, here’s a recipe that can get you to a warm, melt in the middle treat in 30 minutes flat. We like to sprinkle these with a few salt crystals to balance the sweetness.

There no creaming or melting of butter required, just a little bit of stirring and baking. Perfect for when the biscuit cupboard is bare.

When you scoop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto the baking tray the biscuity balls look like scoops of chocolate ice cream and this is what gave us the idea to take these biscuits up a notch and make them into ice cream sandwiches.

Just scoop a spoonful of ice cream in-between two cookies and squidge! Get extra fancy by rolling them in ‘hundreds and thousands’ for extra crunch. You can make your ice cream sandwiches an hour or so in advance and pop them in the freezer for pudding.

1. Mix together the Nutella, peanut butter, sugar, egg and salt until smooth.2. Add the flour, cocoa, choc chips and bicarb and combine well.3. Place in the fridge for 10 minutes.4. Preheat the oven to 175ºC5. Line two baking sheets with baking parchment6. Use a measuring spoon to scoop rounded tablespoons of the cookie dough onto the trays, well spaced apart7. Sprinkle with a little Maldon Salt if you like that salty/sweet thing8. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes until the tops are crackled9. Cool on the tray for 10 minutes to allow them to set before you cool on a rack
